Directions

Using the heel of your hand, crush lemongrass and add to the bowl of a food processor along with scallions, green chiles, garlic, ginger, cilantro, coriander seeds, and lime leaves. Process until finely chopped. With the processor running, add soy and fish sauce. Continue processing until a smooth paste is formed.

Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add peanut and sesame oil; swirl to coat. Add shrimp and snow peas; cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Add coconut milk and asparagus; stir to combine. Cook until heated through, about 3 1/2 minutes. Squeeze lime over curry and garnish with cilantro leaves and red chile; serve with rice.
